Hillary Clinton
claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday night after
decisive victories in the New Jersey and New Mexico primaries, and
quickly appealed to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to unite with her against Donald J. Trump.

At
a rally in Brooklyn, Mrs. Clinton took the stage with her hands clasped
over her heart in gratitude, then threw open her arms in joy and
savored a long moment as a jubilant crowd waved American flags and
chanted “Hillary.”

Reaching
for history as she became the first woman to win a major party’s
nomination, Mrs. Clinton pledged to build on the achievements of
pioneers like the 19th-century leaders at Seneca Falls, N.Y., who began
the fight for women’s rights in America.

“Tonight
caps an amazing journey — a long, long journey,” Mrs. Clinton said,
nearly a century after women won the right to vote nationwide. “We all
owe so much to those who came before, and tonight belongs to all of
you.”

She also lavished praise on Mr. Sanders, saying that their “vigorous debate” had been “very good for the Democratic Party and America.”

NEW YORK — Even before the polls closed in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton knew she was in for a very bad night.

The
establishment worrywart caucus was freaking out, and the media was rife
with speculation of an imminent staff shake-up. Was she once again
being set up for a fall, a lumbering front-runner about to be toppled by
a charismatic outsider?
Her answer: Get me a bigger plane.
Robby
Mook, her penny-pinching campaign manager, blanched. But Clinton
insisted that she did not want her aides trickling back to the Brooklyn
campaign headquarters, one by one, nursing their dejection. Everyone
wo

uld fly together.
As 30 or so aides boarded, Clinton and her
husband, former president Bill Clinton, stood at the top of the stairs,
shaking each one’s hand and thanking them.

Listen to the candidate as she becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee for the presidential race.

Thirty minutes before polls closed in California, Hillary Clinton
gave a victory speech in Brooklyn. Clinton had a total of 2,383
delegates after winning the Democratic primary in New Jersey and secured her spot as the Democratic presidential nominee, making her the first woman to do so.
She even changed her Twitter profile picture.

Tonight, we can say with pride that, in America, there is no barrier too great and no ceiling too high to break. pic.twitter.com/7vbGPJe543
